Final Scratch allows bedroom DJs to enter and control the digital world. Its patented technology allows real-time manipulation and scratching of digital music files such as .wav and MP3 - from conventional analogue decks. Using any standard turntable and mixer set-up, a DJ can manipulate digital sources by hand, and with vinyl, while out on the road a DJ can now carry his entire system to a gig in a travel bag.
Certainly Final Scratch proved to be a popular winner, as DJ’s flocked onto the Lamba stand throughout the PLASA Show. Among those who saw Stanton’s B-Side and John Acquaviva put Final Scratch through its paces were Roger Sanchez, Grandmaster Flash, Cutmaster Swift and XPress 2 - who recently enjoyed a huge UK chart hit (Lazy) with former Talking Head David Byrne.
DJ Magazine’s awards are considered to be the most prestigious in the industry, and Lamba’s Paul Bierton commented: "We are delighted that DJ Magazine has recognized what we already know - which is that Final Scratch is on the verge of setting a major global trend that is set to revolutionize the way in which the industry thinks about downloading, mixing and playing back dance tracks."
